“Well, of course, I feel so sad. When I heard about it, talagang naiyak ako. But it’s there already, wala na tayong magagawa,” reaksyon niya.

Patuloy pa ni Mother Lily, “I heard daw na we are number 8 or 9 but it’s really sayang. Sana naman, after this year, next year festival they should understand na yung mga poor people na nasa C, D, E, like yung carpenters and ordinary workers, meron silang bonus and once they get their bonus, they bring their whole family to the theater to watch the movies, ‘yon ang bonding nila pag Pasko, eh. But anyway, let’s hope next year the entire system will be changed.”

“You know, I’m not against indie movie because I was the original na gumagawa niyan, sina Lav Diaz, Jeffrey Jeturian, lahat sila.

“We also had a festival, do you still remember? Kung saan-saan namin dinala ang mga pelikula. But you know, there’s a time for the indie movies but not Christmas season. Christmas is for the family,” pagdidiin pa niya.
